With all respect for Dray or Klay or Kerr, in Europe a lot of Golden State fans are amazed by Steph. There's no one playing like Steph here. Nobody shootin or dribblin the way he shoots or dribbles. Who goes to Chase Center is very lucky to see him play live. Hope he comes back soon
One fear seems to be materializing. When Kerr feels pressed, he ditches faith in the young guys and leans on his vets. If Moody and JK can't get sufficient run against the likes of Orlando, Atlanta & Washington, then forget about them sniffing the floor in the playoffs. If this is a sign, we bow out in the first round with Steph-Klay-DLee-JTA-Looney on the floor. (Dray will have been thrown out already)
I take it on face value that Draymond is just working his way back into game shape, until it (possibility of lingering back injury) is reported. And he doesn't look like he is playing injured, he looks like he is a step behind his normal self. A positive thought on Wiseman. When he did play in those 3 games, he looked like he was running free from pain or discomfort (except for being out of breath). So, I am hopeful that by the playoffs, Dray will be Dray, and that we will have a lot to look forward to next year in Wiseman (bonehead rookie mistakes and awesome dunks)
Take out the 2019-2020 season, and the Warriors would be 31-41 without Curry during Kerr's coaching career. This pretty much shows that Stephen Curry is the Warriors system, and the Warriors struggle without him.
Man, losing sucks. Losing a game where we're behind wire-to-wire but usually by very little is depressing. It doesn't even feel like the Warriors did much wrong, other than aim badly on threes.

Does this team use the Peter principle for their rookies?
Curry (and Shaq) won an Oscar?? What can this man NOT do?
This is outstanding work (that cheered me up a bit):

I looked through statsmuse once again. According to the website, Kerr has a coaching record of 45-87 without Curry.

This also includes the 2019-2020 season, when the Warriors were 14-46 without Curry.

I did not watch Oscar but I read this Steph’s tweeter and like the quote by Denzel:
”In your highest moments, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you!”

Warriors, Be humble and Don’t be complacent.
2 - 7 without Steph last year
3 - 8 without Steph this year
That's all, folks

So… Klay is the healthiest and most productive of the 3 main vets right now… not the best situation, lol
